One of my favorite Black Friday dishes is potato pancakes made with the leftover redskin smashed potatoes. It takes effort by the cooks in our family, however, to make enough potatoes to serve 30+ people on Thanksgiving even before we can think of potato pancakes on Friday.

And as a nod to the fact that all of my siblings have worked at various times as pizza delivery people, I will tell you that Friday after Thanksgiving is known as a huge day in the pizza take-out and delivery business.
